dude when I put my new hood on the strut tower brace was hitting it and I couldn't close it. I tried a few different sizes of spacers (plenum spacer required me to use them or it would rub on the engine when it moved), but nothing worked. it either hit the hood or it rubbed, no happy middle zone.
so I splurge on a overpriced stillen strut tower brace.. since it is designed to go in front of the plenum. have to remove the engine cover to even consider using it which I wasn't happy about, then it was pinching all of the hoses and **** and I just foresee too many potential issues with using it.
tired of f'in around with this but I don't want to just not use a strut tower brace, trying to improve handling not worsen it. I am hoping a flat style unit like gt spec will work.
pain in zee dick! I can see the hatch being a lot more difficult though with the glass and all.

If you've not considered the di-noc as a roof and pillar overlay, think again.
I saw this product installed on a brand new cl63 at the dealer! wtf.
It looked fantastic and might bring your theme full circle at a reasonable price.
Looks awesome. Great choices.
Those new weds wheels would look smash on your ride. Or just about anything
for that matter.
